Abstract
The growing interest in the landscape of left overs produced by urban sprawl is a common phenomenon also in European planning. If the sprawl has made it possible to define new categories, such as Drosscapes or Junkspaces, to describe the totality of abandoned territories unable to express quality (such as brownfields, railway deposits or infrastructural residual spaces), it seems impossible to impose an idea of urban form without considering the landscape scale. This paper aims to investigate the most important theoretical positions proposed by the Landscape Urbanism discipline, starting from the transformations which take place in the territory and working on urban voids as an important occasion of urban regeneration. In the framework of (PIC)ITY research funded by Regione Liguria (2007-09) Savona Central Park, defines its design size within an heterogeneous urban context, not free of contradictions, in which the urban regeneration process plays an important role. Re-cycling these residual spaces, has promoted a new balanced vision between collective interests, participation forms and environmental compensations, towards solutions which can promote a better quality of living.
